New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: myphotos.site – Google photos to a website in 60 seconds

Show HN: myphotos.site – Google photos to a website in 60 seconds
7 by gabigrin | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! My friend and I love taking pictures on our phones, and we were looking for a super simple way to share them with the world. Google Photos albums are nice, but the result isn't slick enough and lacks customization options (embed, custom domain). That's why we built myphotos.site - a micro SaaS that allows anyone to create a slick, minimal gallery website from Google Photos. Galleries can be iframe-embedded for those looking for full customization. One thing we haven't solved yet - many Google Photos users (myself included) do not have images pre-organized in albums, so the fact that technically it takes 60 seconds to build a website doesn't take into account that you have to spend time picking the right images. Would love to some feedback/ideas from hobbyist photographers here!

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: A ready-to-adapt email marketing sequences database

Show HN: A ready-to-adapt email marketing sequences database
9 by davidbff | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, as an email marketer for the past 4 years, I’ve built sequences that reach millions of inboxes every month. But whenever I start a new project—or when a company reaches out for help—it was always almost back to square one: researching from scratch, especially when entering an unfamiliar industry. Really Good Emails and similar resources are awesome, and I use some of them every now and then. But to me, they lack that strategic part of email marketing. So, a couple of months ago, I started building a database of email sequences, which now has examples from 80+ companies and over 330+ categorized and sequenced emails. It’s designed to help non-marketers, solo founders, and busy teams create better email campaigns without starting from scratch. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions for improvement. Thanks for taking a look!

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Nova JavaScript Engine

Show HN: Nova JavaScript Engine
11 by aapoalas | 0 comments on Hacker News.
We're building a different kind of JavaScript engine, based on data-oriented design and willingness to try something quite out of left field. This is most concretely visible in our major architectural choices: 1. All data allocated on the JavaScript heap is placed into a type-specific vector. Numbers go into the numbers vector, strings into the strings vector, and so on. 2. All heap references are type-discriminated indexes: A heap number is identified by its discriminant value and the index to which it points to in the numbers vector. 3. Objects are also split up into object kind -specific vectors. Ordinary objects go into one vector, Arrays go into another, DataViews into yet another, and so on. 4. Unordinary objects' heap data does not contain ordinary object data but instead they contain an optional index to the ordinary objects vector. 5. Objects are aggressively split into parts to avoid common use-cases having to reading parts that are known to be unused. If this sounds interesting, I've written a few blog posts on the internals of Nova over in our blog, you can jump into that here: https://ift.tt/rcnJkNF

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop

Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop
2 by ramon156 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
It's that time of my life where I need to find a good work laptop. With the prices that laptops go for I'd rather not impulse buy and (maybe) regret my decision. My last purchase was a Vivobook S(15?), and even with the discount I regret it to this day. It didn't even run Windows 10, and I had no time to look for another one as my uni courses already started. 700 euros for a raspberry-grade CPU that sucked the battery dry in less than an hour. The DIY option from Framework seems very intriguing. The customizing part seems rather cheap (I could get extra accessories in case I change my mind for ~10 euros per piece). My question is if anyone has experience with them and would recommend them, as I want to avoid another flop.
